Since posting my memories of the Twin City Mall a few years ago, I’ve gotten some responses from some of you readers who also remember shopping there. I reprint them here.
Interesting…I’m only 22, I remember this place vaguely, having gone to it once in the early 1990s. I remember when it sat empty in the late 1990s. The shopping center there now is actually comprised of buildings from the mall, they didnt build anything new really, they just demolished 65% of the mall and used the rest to make a shopping center. – Graham
I created a group on Facebook named “Bruce’s Twin City Mall.” If you don’t have a Facebook account, Google the group name and you can still see the pictures. – Anonymous
Gone but not forgotten. I remember they had a stamp and coin shop in a weird circular building, right inside the mall itself. Now, most stamp and coin shops are gone, and it seems like malls are going too. – Anonymous
I grew up in North Palm, and I met many milestones at the Twin City Mall. I bought my first makeup at Jeffersons. I got my ears pierced at the Piercing Pagoda for my 12th birthday. I bought my first records with babysitting money at the Musicsmith. You’d go for Orange Julius with friends after school. Does anyone remember that weird sort of octagonal head shop in the middle? The airbrushed custom t-shirts were amazing! I used to ride my bike to the movies all the time–saw Flash Gordon, Friday the 13th, and all the National Lampoon movies there.- Kim
